WYMONDHAM COLLEGE
BOARDING - BOARDING LIFE
INTRODUCTION
Our boarders come from a wide range of backgrounds. The College's outstanding reputation means that we have students coming to us from all over the UK, Europe and elsewhere in the world.
The exciting and unique blend of young people is one of the many reasons why Wymondham College is a dynamic, successful and fascinating place to be. However our true strength and uniqueness comes from boarding which forms the very essence of college life.
Perhaps the biggest difference is the way in which our boarding houses are organised. Wymondham College has always been a fully co-educational school and since the 1970s we have had mixed boarding houses. This means that whilst sleeping accommodation is entirely seperate, boys and girls mix naturally in the social and work areas.
Another key aspect of boarding at Wymondham College is the mix and range of staff who are available to support and guide our boarders. The plethora of trained and experienced staff dedicated simply to boarding in each House far exceed the national minimum guidelines established for boarding schools. Teaching and non-teaching staff willingly give up their time in the evenings and weekends, with teaching staff recognising the great benefits boarding brings to teaching within the classroom.
With Head of House having overall pastoral and academic responsibility for the progress of students in their care, the boarding houses lie at the centre of life at the College.
We have 5 boarding houses at the College. 5 main school boarding houses and 1 sixth form boarding house. Please click the links below to find out more about each boarding house.
